Abstract

Our study demonstrated that the mycosynthesized SeNPs had remarkable antibacterial effect while, mycosynthesized AgNPs exhibited a considerable antibiofilm effect. Both NPs exhibited higher synergistic effect with antibiotics with different modes of action. This approach could potentially enhance the efficacy of existing antibiotics, providing a new weapon against drug-resistant bacteria where the described silver and selenium nanoparticles play a pivotal role in revolutionizing healthcare practices, offering innovative solutions to combat antibiotic resistance, and contributing to the development of advanced medical technologies.
